HO Clarke Generating is a 484 MW gas power station in Texas, United States. It is operated by HO Clarke Generating LLC. Based on its capacity (estimated), it can supply roughly 545,122 homes (estimated). It ranks #19 of 263 United States power plants by installed capacity. Its measured emissions of 703,310 t CO₂/yr (Climate TRACE) are equivalent to about 163,942 cars driven for a year.

This gas plant burns natural gas in a turbine — often in a combined-cycle setup — to generate electricity. It sits in a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa) — Northern Hemisphere, latitude 29.6°N — which shapes how much energy it can produce and how its output varies through the year.
Monthly mean temperature
Heating degree-days here run 75% below the median power plant in this dataset — a proxy for how much extra energy heated equipment must replace through its surfaces in winter.
Climate heat-demand index: 22/100 — this site sits in the bottom third of the power plants we cover by heating degree-days.
In colder climates, uninsulated hot equipment (boilers, turbines, valves, steam lines) loses proportionally more heat to ambient air — exactly the loss Inzonex modular insulation is designed to cut.
A gas turbine here also runs ~4% below its ISO (15°C) rating at this annual mean (typical CCGT curve, estimate).

The #18 largest gas power plant of 125 in United States by capacity.
United States has 125 gas power plants in this dataset, together about 19,886 MW of capacity.
